I'm new to rsync, so be gentle... I have need to use rsync, but want
to have it operate only off-hours when the network is lightly loaded.
I did not see any option for making rsync obey an "operating time
window" so that it would basically cease copying data if the time-of-day
falls outside a specified window. I thus thought it might be a good idea
to have a --operating-window option where you could specify an
allowed time of operation by indicating two endpoints, perhaps like this
--operating-window 22:00-05:00
where the times are given in HH:MM 24-hour military time.
You could obviously extend this to allow for multiple disjoint windows,
but I don't think there's much point.
Should be easy to code. Any comments?
John.
